Application led May 20, 1925. Serial No. 31,573.

This invention relates to a cooker adapted to be connected to theexhaust pipe of an engine of an automobile.

An object of the invention is the provision of a stove adapted to beconnected directly with the exhaust manifold of the engine or by meansof a by-pass in said manifold so that a heating chamber is formed arounda easing which 'is adapted to be used for frying or broiling meats andWhich also may be used to receive la plurality of cooking vessels forsteaming or boiling foods.

A further object of the invention is the provision ofan outer casinginsulated from the atmosphere and provided with an inner easing spacedfrom the walls of the outer casing to form a heating chamber, theheating chamber being connected with a by-pass connected to the exhaustpipe,l the heating chamber being so disposedrelative to the inner casingand so insulated that articles of food may be readily cooked eitherdirectly in the inner casing or in vessels placed in juxtaposition withtheir tops protected -from the atmosphere by a cover extending the fulllength of the outer insulated casing.

This invention will be best understood from a consideration of thefollowing detailed description, in view of the accompanying drawingforming a part of the specieation; nevertheless it is to be understoodthat the invention is not confined to the disclosure, being susceptibleof such changes and modifications which shall define no materialdeparture from the salient features of the invention. as expressed inthe appended claim.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the stove ready for connection withthe exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine.

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same.'

Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to vthedrawings. 10 and 11 designate outercasings spaced from each other in order to receive .aY

packing of asbestos 12. The upper edges as shown at 13 of the outercasings are connected together and upon said edges is adapted to restaiiange 14 projecting laterally from-the vside and end walls of an innercasing 15. At the lower end and along one end edge. of the inner casingis provided an opening into which is received an end 16 of a dischargeconduit 17 which is controlled by a valve-18 for permitting the'releaseof lard which has been placed upon the bottom,

or frying pan portion 19 of the inner casing 15. 4The pipe 17 is alsoemployed for permitting the discharge of casingl 15 which has drainedover from any one of a plurality of cooking pots 20 or 21 and also forreleasing wash Water that has been used for cleansing the interior ofsaid inner casing. The plate 19 Which forms the bottom of the innercasingl hasa greater thickness than the side walls in view of the factthat said plateis used at certain times for directly frying `or broilingarticles of ood.

At one end 22 of the outer'casing an end 23 of the co-ver 24 is hingedlyconnected as shown at 25, the cover being coextensive with the outercasing 10 so that when the cover is in position the inner casing 15 issubstantially sealed from the atmosphere and the fianged portions 26 ofthe cover 24 rest upon the outer edges of the ange 14 of the innercasing 15. y'

Each of the cooking vessels 2O or 21 is provided with a removable cover27 which has a tube 28 passing through aperforation 29 in the cover 24and projecting beyond said cover so that the steam which is formedWithin the cookingvessels will be permitted to escape to the atmosphere.

Water from thc The side walls of the inner casing 15 are spaced from theside Walls of the outer casing 11 and the plate 19 .is spaced from thebottom 30l of the outer casing 11 a greater distance than the distancebetween the side walls of the inner casing and the vside walls of thecasing 11 in order to form a heating the exhaust y ber 30 to escape tothe atmo here.

It 4will be noted that the 'scharge-pi e 34 is disposed adjacent theupper end of t e heating chamber while the intake 31 is 1ocated at thelower end with the intake pipe gases from the heating chamx'y of theouter casings 10 and .11 and permits 31 having a larger diameter thanthe discharge pipe 34 so that the exhaust gases will tend to crowd andmaintain a slight pressure Within the chamber 32 for aiding in not only7maintaining a constant temperature in the heating chamber but formaintaining a greater temperature than will ordinarily be had Withoutsuch pressure.

A valve 35 is mounted in the intake pipe 31 and is controlled through alever SG and a link 37. This link may be extended to a point on the dashfor opening and closing .aid valve so that the exhaust gases may beadmitted to the heating chamber whenever desired.

W'hat I claim is: l

In combination with the exhaust pipe of' an engine, a cooker comprisinga pair of open outer casings, an insulating packing located between theoutercasings, an inner lasing having a ange at. its upper open endprojecting laterally therefrom and resting upon the upper edges of thepair of outer casings, the inner casing having less dimensions thantheouter casings whereby the side walls and bottom of the inner casing arespaced from the respective side walls and bottoms of the outer casingsto form a heating chamber between said inner and outer casings, a covercoextensive with an outer casing hingedly connected with said casing andprovided with a peripheral iange adapted to rest upon the iange of theinner casing, a conduit adapted to connect the heating chamber with theexhaust pipe, and a discharge conduit connected with the opposite end ofthe heating chan'lber, a valve in the intake conduit for controlling theflow of hot gases to the heating chamber, a plurality of cooking potslocated within the inner casing and provided with exhaust steam pipes,the cover being provided With perforations, the outer free ends of thesteam pipes projecting through the perfor-ations in the cover and adrain pipe conected with the inner casing and extending through andbeyond the outer casings and cooperating to hold the inner casing inposition in the outer casin gs.
